If you were as mesmerized by the animation in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse as I was, and found yourself questioning your life choices while watching the incredible work from studios like BUCK, you're in for a treat. BUCK, the award-winning animation and design studio behind hits like Secret Level and Love, Death + Robots, has now expanded into the gaming world with the launch of its new division, BUCK Games.

BUCK Games made its debut alongside Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, a unique game that ties in with the upcoming film. This isn't BUCK's first venture into gaming, though. They previously released Let’s! Revolution!, a colorful roguelite puzzler that showcases their knack for creating engaging gameplay experiences. With over two decades of experience in animation and design, and having worked with clients like Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, BUCK is poised to bring the same high-quality visuals and innovative design to their mobile games.

We set out with an ambitious, unconventional vision, and our partners pushed us to make it the best version possible.”
